10. Marc Jacobs

Is one of those designers who makes everyone who wears his clothing feel like they are on the cutting edge of fashion. His collections are innovative with a nod to classic cut and wear.

Guess who?

9. Domenico Dolce & Stefano Gabbana

Everyone who is anyone most likely owns a few of their pieces. This Italian duo is known for making women everywhere in fashion feel like they are wearing the best. Confidence and sexiness leap right of the shoulder with these two.

8. John Galliano

Currently Chief Designer at Givenchy. Within a year of graduating art school though, this fashion phenomenon was wowing the fashion world with his expressive style.

7. Stella McCartney

While being the daughter of Paul McCartney most likely has its perks, Stella has managed to make place for herself in the fashion world all on her own. She is classy and cutting edge.

6. Ralph Lauren

One of the most recognizable names in the world. With branded scents like Polo and Polo Sport and a complete clothing line to his name, Lauren has given the world a higher sense of fashion at an affordable, everyone cost.

5. Betsey Johnson

Betsey’s designs are bright and vibrant with a little playful side to them. Johnson’s styles are not just fanciful, but also very wearable making her one of the most versatile designers on this list.

4. Alexander McQueen

Raw excellence at its best. Through use of color and placement, McQueen is able to do with fashion what impressionist art does with the art fan. His blatantly unrefined style has been en vogue for a while now and while his wild side has not been harnessed yet, at least it is working for the side of good.

3. Donatella Versace

A name that is familiar to even non-fashion buffs. Her style has never been replicated, but then again she is a Versace herself. Elegance, slim lines and well placed curves assures the continued success of the Versace legacy.

2. Tom Ford

Though not as well known as Versace or Lauren, Ford is nevertheless an icon in this generation having won at the VH1 fashion awards and being named fashion designer of the year once already. He is a favorite on the red carpet and looks to be on the scene for a long time.

1. Valentino Garavani

An Italian born designer who might well have been born of Greek and of Athena for the way he seems to worship the human form. His creations scream femininity while at the same time seems somehow reserved. He has struck a balance between sexy, sleek and radical. Designer to the stars true, from the stars? Perhaps.
